I'm trying to think of what I'd do with 8 GBs of RAM and my first thoughts are DooM3 and Quake 4. It's the most system intensive thing I have here unless you count Microsoft's Server software heh. When I ordered my laptop years ago, it didn't have an option for some stuff, and the thing I wanted most was something that wasn't going to drain battery life since a Laptop should be able to work off just Battery for a while, and so I downgraded everything except the Processor which I left with a Pentium 4 M, and then upgraded the RAM to 512 and Battery to Lithium Ion. The rest I didn't care about so I got it cheap by the standards of then with decent power. Today it's showing age but not as bad s the rest of my stuff.

If I was ordering a brand new Desktop, I think I'd go with 8 GBs of RAM if I could, and a really good processor that ran cool, and put most of the cash not in that into the Video card, HDs, and Monitor. Like the Alpha I want so badly
